Their photo, in colour that doesn’t fade

Real birthday and photo orders — 21sts, 40ths, 60ths, and the photos that made the room laugh. For example: a 60th with a photo collage from across the years, printed full-wrap, 30 made for the party.

How photo orders work

1

Send the photo and the date

Quote form or email — the occasion, rough numbers, and the photo. You’ll hear back the same business day.

2

Approve your proof

We set the photo up full-wrap and email a proof. Nothing prints until you sign off. One round of revisions included.

3

Made, packed, tracked

Stitched by hand on the Gold Coast, dispatched within 7–10 business days of approval, tracking the moment it leaves.

Sending us a photo or artwork? There’s no upload on the form — just reply to our quote confirmation email with your photos, logos, names or wording (or use one of our templates). We send a proof before anything is printed.

Will the photo print well?

Will my photo print well?

Your photo is printed full-wrap in vivid sublimation colour — the ink bonds into the fabric, so it can’t crack, peel or flake. You see a digital proof before anything prints, so you know exactly how the photo will look.

What sizes do you make?

We cover every common Australian drink size — standard 375 ml cans and stubbies, slim cans (250–330 ml seltzers and pre-mixed drinks), longneck bottles, and skinny European-style bottles. Tell us what you’re cooling and we’ll match the stubby cooler to it.

Is there a minimum order?

No. Order one cooler or two hundred — no minimum order quantity. Per-cooler pricing drops as your order grows.

How long does it take?

Standard orders are turned around in 7–10 business days from the moment you approve the proof. Rush orders are available for an extra fee. We’ll always give you a firm date before we start production.

Whether it’s a 21st, a 40th or Nan’s surprise 70th, a photo stubby cooler turns a milestone into something everyone takes home. Send the photo — the cheeky one, the throwback, the whole crew — and we print it full-wrap in colour that won’t fade, on 6mm neoprene built to outlast the hangover. You’ll see a proof before we print, so the photo lands exactly how you want it.

Their photo, printed to last

Sublimation bonds the ink into the fabric, so a birthday cooler doesn’t crack, peel or wash out — it looks the same at the next party as it did at this one. Full-wrap means the whole cooler is your canvas: a photo collage, a caricature, an age and a name, an inside joke only the table will get. Milestone birthdays, surprise parties, “over the hill” gags, joint birthdays — one product, endless reasons. And birthdays are just the start — we make custom stubby holders Australia-wide for every occasion.

Getting a good result from your photo

A clear, well-lit photo prints best — the sharper the file, the sharper the cooler. PNG, JPG or PDF at 300dpi is ideal, but if you’re not sure what you’ve got, send it anyway and we’ll check it before anything prints. Got an older or lower-res photo? We’ll have a look and tell you honestly how it’ll come up on your proof (a tidy-up may carry a small extra fee). No minimum order, so order one for the guest of honour or a batch for the whole party.

My photo is a bit old or blurry — can you use it?

Send it and we’ll have a look. You’ll see a proof before anything prints, so you’ll know exactly how it’ll appear. An extra fee may apply if it needs work.

Can you do more than one photo?

Yes — collages and multi-photo layouts are no problem. Tell us what you’re after in the quote.

Can I put a photo collage on a stubby cooler?

Yes — send multiple photos and we’ll lay them out as a full-wrap collage, printed in fade-proof sublimation colour on 6mm neoprene. You approve a digital proof before anything prints.

What’s a good 21st birthday stubby cooler idea?

A full-colour photo or caricature of the birthday person, printed full-wrap on 6mm neoprene — a keepsake mates keep, not a giveaway that gets binned.

Birthday Stubby Coolers by Age

Every milestone has its own energy — here’s how people make each one land. Whatever the number, it’s full-wrap, fade-proof, and no minimum order.

18th Birthday Stubby Coolers

The first legal round, made to remember. Their photo, the date or a cheeky in-joke printed full-wrap — handed to the crew who were there for round one.

21st Birthday Stubby Coolers

Mark the big one with their photo, a loud “21”, or a caricature of the birthday legend. A keepsake mates keep long after the night blurs.

30th Birthday Stubby Coolers

Dirty 30 and still got it. A throwback photo, an inside joke or a clean bit of design — a stubby cooler that says the party isn’t slowing down.

40th Birthday Stubby Coolers

Over the hill, never over the beer. “Over the hill” gags, a vintage-year theme or a photo from back when — printed to outlast the hangover.

50th Birthday Stubby Coolers

Half a century, done in style. A milestone photo, a “50 and fabulous” line or a classic design the whole table will use and keep.

60th Birthday Stubby Holders

Six decades worth celebrating. A photo collage across the years, a family theme, or a name and the number 60 — a warm keepsake for everyone there.

Past 60? We make plenty of 70ths, 80ths and 90ths too — same full-wrap, fade-proof build, any age, any theme.

Every cooler comes in three sizes — standard for 375ml cans, slim for 250ml seltzer and skinny cans, and a foldable holder that packs flat — and three seam finishes. See the full size guide.

Non-overlocked

No edge stitching — a clean, minimal raw edge.

White overlock

White overlock thread that takes on the colour of your print, so the seam blends in.

Black overlock

Black overlock thread for a bold contrast seam around the edge.
